I love the location of this house

Not sure if i'm dreaming though as i have no development experience or desire to learn.

Anyone any rough estimate about the kind of money to sort this into something reasonable. Id like the main building sorting and leave the rest. I understand its a how longs a piece of string type question but i'm not sure if its £100k/£250k/£500k so just looking for ballpark figures

If it is somewhere in the middle of my estimate i would deem it worth pursuing but much more and its out of my reach.

I would need a project manager. Would you normally approach one first, or would you get an architect first or maybe even a builder first?

I read though the current planning and it raised issues both you did about being compelled to preserve scale drawings and making sure windows match exactly.

I have a very flexible job but very little spare time. I could devote time to it but only a couple hours a day. I would prefer to get someone to do all that for me, obviously i'll need to pay for that
